I am listening to this album right now and I am very pleased with it,often I get an idea of how music is before listening, based on (mode of) presentation, instrumentation and 'gut feeling'.I am happy to say that your music lives up to my expectations.The drumming, the strumming,the trumpeting and everything is perfect, this will be the soundtrack to many days and nights.

You have an extensive array of recordings, but I think I will take '3 miles from Mecca' nextand see where I end up after that.

Thoughts give birth to a creative force that is neither elemental nor sidereal. Thoughts create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy, from which new arts flow. When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven, as it were and from it the work that he desires to create flows into him. For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than heaven and earth - Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus(1493 - 1541)
